KonMari Update – Sparking Joy Yet?

Well, it has been almost two months since I started my KonMari journey. And it has most definitely been a journey…filled with lots of trash, recycles and so much organizing. All we have left is the garage, and maybe some photo keepsakes. I fully blame my husband and the fact that it is just plain cold outside in the winter to be organizing a garage as to why we haven’t gotten to that part of the house. The photos, well that is all me, they are so distracting and then I get so sad my kids are so grown up!! 

DIY Gossip Bench with Fusion Mineral Paint

Ever since our Flohmarkt days in Germany, I have been looking for the perfect entryway bench. I found a few benches in Germany but something was always not quite right, i.e. too big, expensive, ornate, or just not what I envisioned. While looking through Facebook marketplace (my new favorite pastime), I came across gossip benches…and I love them so much!! The little seat and shelf is so cute and unique. One just so happened to pop up so I snagged it…super lucky! I thought this would be a great project to paint and try out a new paint I had been checking out at a local store.

Jello Fluff Recipe

Holidays are a great time for family memories and sharing meals with our loved ones. Every family has their own traditions and favorite dishes that they love or have at all holiday gatherings. One of my families most requested dishes is my Mom’s Jello Fluff. She has made it in many different flavors; raspberry, lime, orange, strawberry, the possibilities are as endless as jello flavors. Usually, I make the fluff with raspberry jello, but orange is delicious too. I am guessing my Mom started making it because my brother and I would not touch cranberry sauce and it has been on our holiday table ever since. I make it every year now too since it doesn’t seem like a holiday without it!
